Designing and Building Parallel Programs, by Ian Foster

Designing and Building Parallel Programs (Online) is an innovative traditional print and online resource publishing project. It incorporates the content of a textbook published by Addison-Wesley into an evolving online resource. Here is a description of the book, and here is the table of contents. See also the list of mirror sites around the world.

Designing and Building Parallel Programs (Online) integrates four resources concerned with parallel programming and parallel computing:

• The content of Designing and Building Parallel Programs
• A collection of public-domain Parallel Software Tools
• A collection of Web Tours providing access to other information on Parallel Computing
• Various educational resources.

We have prepared and presented a very successful full-day tutorial based on Designing and Building Parallel Programs. Let us know if you are interested in seeing this presented elsewhere.
